With the sheer number of gimbals on the market today it can be difficult trying to decide which one you should buy. The innovation in gimbals continues and for the most part, manufacturers are trying to produce gimbals that can hold more and more weight. This may not be the best strategy especially considering mirrorless cameras are becoming mainstream. 

With companies like Canon and Nikon joining the fray we can safely assume that mirrorless is the future. One of the advantages of mirrorless cameras Like the Sony a7R III is that for the most part, they are smaller and lighter. This is a great feature for many photographers/videographers and I personally prefer a lighter camera for much of my filming. 

Having a lighter camera but then using a huge gimbal that can hold 4kg doesn’t really make sense and for that reason, I much prefer the FeiyuTech a1000. I’ve had the pleasure of using and owning several gimbals and in my view, the a1000 is by far the best mirrorless gimbal on the market. It’s lighter than many of the other options, it’s very reasonably priced, has tonnes of features and, the footage looks incredible. 

The camera industry is moving towards mirrorless so having a light and effective gimbal makes far more sense now. Check out the full video to see in detail why I think this is the best mirrorless gimbal you can buy.
